Those corporate Italian restaurants freeze their lasagna and stuffed pastas, and also microwave a few items. A lot of times you are lucky to even get regular pasta like spaghetti and penne that is cooked on the same day they serve it. These restaurants stress limiting waste to their managers and employees and sacrifice food quality as a result.

Literally it all looks like it's been sitting for ages and then reheated. The Bisque had a skin on it and wasn't steaming, the lasange had a skin and was only steaming in the middle. Clearly their head chef is Chef mic.

[@furiogiunta7886]

Yeah that lasagna appeared to be microwaved in my opinion as well.

[@Rhyd]

@@furiogiunta7886 could see how there was burnt sauce on one side. If it was cut and then served in the dish there should be no sauce burnt on the side. Sad state of affairs when you have to reheat a simple dish :(

[@furiogiunta7886]

@@Rhyd Lasagna should be heated up in the oven, it's not very hard. When I managed an Italian restaurant, we made one tray of lasagna before dinner, if it sold out, it sold out. If we had any left over we made a lunch special for it the next day. Lasagna should always be fresh.

[@Rhyd]

@@furiogiunta7886 Exactly. Why do these places serve it up in these dishes just to let them sit and reheat is crazy. It’s either a cost saving measure or they don’t have the in-house facilities to prepare dishes on site. Lots of UK pub and restaurant chains do similar to avoid hiring actual chefs.

About the Lobster Bisque...a lot of restaurants buy a paste called Lobster Base. Its a lot like that Better Than Bullion stuff. They just add a big spoonful of it to a basic soup and charge more $$$.

[@DoctorRobertNeville]

Right after High School, and during my College years I worked at a small Mom & Pop Italian place. Everything was made from scratch and was loaded with love. That stuff you got looked like it either came from a can or was frozen from a bag. When Momma Ginny, and Poppa Paul retired I was given their recipe book. I still have it to this day, and this was many moons ago. I still use the book to make sure anything I make comes from the recipe book. If someone leaves my table hungry well that is your own problem.

[@kierancrumlish737]

That dip and the lobster bisque both looked like they had a thick film over them. Both seemed to have been sitting for quite some time before it was brought out to you. As if they pre-plated/bowled everything. Then sat it under a heating lamp. I hope not, but that was how it looked on cam🤷🏾‍♂️

[@glynismorris2196]

Where's the lobster?

[@michaelplantarich3375]

I feel like I've seen something like this at most restaurants. I don't know for sure, because I've never worked one, but I feel like soups in particular get that weird top to them even if they sit for a minute or 2. Granted, this one did look pretty deep, but to me it seems normal. Again, I'm not 100% sure lol

[@ocelotxp]

I find any Italian restaurant that uses parsley as a garnish is a tell-tale sign the food is going to disappoint. I don't know why, but this seems to always happen. The best ones NEVER use parsley as a garnish.

[@victoru918]

Very true... imo It's tough to find great or even decent Italian restaurants. The same goes for Soul Food Restaurants. The best of those cuisines you'll get is if someone makes it at home from baked mac n' cheese, collard greens, etc... Too.... Italian dishes in gnocchi, rigatoni, pasta bolognese etc... Always hit or miss but mainly miss.

[@stefanmarchione6757]

💯 So true! Those two cuisines are often hit or miss when dining out. I'm Italian, and boy can I cook. Incidentally, those two are my favorites. Also, in addition to Italian food, I can make some soul food. I've always listened & learned from other cooks. It's unfortunate that people go out and spend 💵 for a nice dining experience, to only be served crap in the end. 😞

[@dannyl3417]

[@tylerjames962]

When you see the film on the soup, that tells you the soup is already store in bowls and probably microwaved or kept in a warmer to get out quickly, most likely leftovers. Fresh soup wouldn’t have that film that quick if put into your bowls. The spinach dip was most likely frozen, as well as the pasta. That pasta was over cooked just by the look of it, and the meat on the lasagna looked like a low grade dog food. No white sauce either.

[@Fullmetal1291985]

Exactly that film on the soup and dip only forms if it's been sitting it's why restaurants have steam bins to hold soup or gravy in.

[@michaelplantarich3375]

I do feel that some restaurants get unfair reviews due to poor wait staff, or if someone has a bad day. Though to be fair, I think that a lot of people aren't patient enough. I've noticed a lot of people who expect their servers to only serve them, and nobody else. I feel like it's gotten worse post lockdown. People just need to chill and give servers a little leeway. They're working for less than $5 an hour and depend on your tips. Their job is extremely stressful from the moment they get in their car to drive to work. Show them a little love and compassion. You aren't the only person in the restaurant

[@quinhouston713]

It's not very many restaurants that do fresh ingredients, however the mistakes they make is by cutting corners instead of focusing on the quality of the food. And I agree with Daym the server sets the tone of your experience upon your visit whether you want to come back or not, the food and cleanliness matters also.
